After a lengthy debate, with Democrats and Republicans disagreeing on the intent of a Senate bill to prohibit state courts from applying foreign law, the legislation advanced in the House largely along party lines with a 56-44 vote.

Senate Bill 97, carried by Keith Regier, R-Kalispell, doesn’t specifically mention Sharia law, but it was the only kind of foreign law mentioned during testimony in both the Senate and House judiciary committees.

Sharia law is the religious governance followed by people practicing Islam. Sharia utilizes religious texts to determine divine will. Its implementation varies across the world, with Saudi Arabia adhering to strict punishments like stoning, while in other countries it is most regularly used in personal law such as marriage and divorce.

Democrats said the bill targets Muslims, while Republicans said it simply reinforces the Montana and U.S. constitutions.

By the nature of the opposing laws and philosophies, it is understandable that a bill upholding the Constitution would seem to target radical, Sharia-abiding Islamists. But it says more about which political group is supporting which side. Republicans fight for the Constitution, while Democrats fight to erode it.

Still, upholding Constitutional law does not result in discrimination of other religions. The laws in this country are clear, and Sharia law has no standing in any manner. It seems reasonable to codify such a concept.

Conservatives across the nation have sent a powerful message against Sharia Law. A petition on Stand United has been created, demanding Congress take action against the oppressive legal system.

It targets muslims? Democrats prove again they care nothing about America. Only themselves. No muslim evil laws,that deny freedom for all and want to make all live under its law. They cut off the heads of those who won’t become muslim. Democrats who want this law are insane .All Muslims must fallow American laws and not kill people who disagree with them. Those who don’t get the full punishment of the law.

Exactly, no beheadings, no stonings! They don’t want to fit in they want to take over! They want to kill anyone who doesn’t believe their disgusting ways! Their Allah is a fake son God! They are all going to a very hot place! They deserve it for their disgusting ways! They kill and destroy! It’s pathetic and cruel!

Well that is the BEST NEWS I have ever heard, it’s music to my ears.Same should be done here in Australia . I go to their country or any country I abide by the Laws of such country and respect their faith
but for them it’s the contrary.If they do not like our laws,but they like our money,the solution is simple,”Pack your bags and POQ
never come back.

Sharia Law is not conducive to the American way of life! Actually, Sharia Law is dedigned to enslave women and make them victim to whatever men chooses for them! Smart move by the house and I will never accept it, NEVER! Stupid democrats! Just as twisted as this Law!

Great news just wonder what the 44 were thinking voting against the bill. We have 44 people in the house of represtatives trying to go against the Constitution , The public should know their names in case they are voting for people that don’t have our same values. I doubt anyone would vote for someone who want Sharia law. We have one law and one law only in America. Sharia law is not the one. All demorats trying to twist and turn the law by trying to make it racist.
They really need to be stopped or we are going to be in a He ll of a mess.
